Im An Idiot. This Whole Entire Time I Set My Location In Timepassages To The Closest Major City Instead

i’m an idiot. this whole entire time i set my location in timepassages to the closest major city instead of like…the town that i actually live in lol. i thought it wouldn’t make a difference but it turns out that the current moon phase was always a little off. i literally just thought it took a little while for the app to update the moon phases lmao.

🩷VENUS SIGNS AND EARLY DATING STYLE❤️‍🔥

Venus Aries - Type to take action. They aren't controlling but like to stay in the position of the Leader in the relationship. Showing love by "doing".

Venus Taurus - The senses are highly important here. They are the type to like to hold hands, smell your perfume/cologne and look at you LOL. Down-to-earth energy.

Venus Gemini - This Venus likes to have OPEN conversations. Lots of intellectual jokes and picking your brain. They don't mind texting throughout the day to get to know you.

Venus Cancer - This energy is about comforting and making things natural. With this placement, they have the tendency to "Say" whatever they feel the other person wants to hear.

Venus Leo - This can come off as superficial. They may pay attention a lot to your image, social media, or the status you hold in life. They are good at making you feel special or adored if you impress them.

Venus Virgo - This placement is very helpful. The type to ask you about your daily life and seem interested just to see how they can help.

Venus Libra - This placement is very romantic. I would say "traditionally" is more romantic. They show interest by taking/ going on fancy dinners. May show up or expect flowers and drink wine together.

Venus Scorpio - Interest here is shown by drawing you in with sexuality and intensity. They like to take control of small details like picking the place, movie or song. Introducing you to mystic environments.

Venus Sagittarius - They will be playful and funny around you. Taking time and providing a chill vibe to just be yourself. They show interest by not putting pressure on you and to build a friendship.

Venus Capricorn - This likes to build a connection by understanding who you are. They don't need a lot of attention but will devote time to you if asked. They show love by dedication to the relationship.

Venus Aquarius - This placement likes to keep an "open" aura towards it. They won't make you feel restricted but have a way of making you feel completely accepted. They don't mind doing what it is you like too.

Venus Pisces - Emotional and Romance are important here. They like to get you to feel emotionally vulnerable. They also won't mind getting vulnerable with you!

Hi! I hope you’re doing good! Do all aspects and placements in someone’s chart make up their appearance? I’ve heard that it does, and I’ve heard that it doesn’t. Just curious to know :)

THE NATAL CHARTS RELATION TO PHYSICAL APPEARANCE

Hi, I love this question! I can see arguments for both sides, but in my opinion I think all placements within someones chart make up appearance. I say this because our emotions and inner psychology directly affect physical appearance. And the same can be said for our physical environments. Here are some examples:

Gemini Saturn in the 12th House - Prone to getting bags under the eyes due to poor sleep. Struggles with anxiety and poor appetite.

Venus in the 2nd House - Having the resources to maintain ones appearance. Having access to high quality food, clothing, makeup, and skincare.

Neptune in the 8th House - Prone to drug usage, and is especially susceptible to the negative side effects. These types look spaced out and detached even if they have never used substances. They've probably been asked, "Are you high?" even if dead sober.

12th house stellium - Looks mysterious, even when you get to know them. No one ever truly knows a 12th house stellium. My life long friend constantly reveals details about her life that change the way I view her. And I never really know what she is up to, even when we were in each others daily lives. She travels more than any young person I know, yet remains humble and wise. 12th house stelliums are the ultimate mystiques, and this is an incredibly attractive quality.

1st House stellium - Their distinct personality overpowers whatever their physical appearance may be. Usually people attach traits onto others based on their physical appearance, but the reverse happens for 1st house stelliums. It is almost like they're cartoon characters, its like their personality and sense of character was developed before their physical form even came into existence. Their physical appearance suits who they are so well, I don't know how else to describe it.

Pluto in the 6th house - There are periods in which people with this placement will be overworked.

Scorpio Uranus in the 12th House - The wild card. Their subconscious state shifts drastically and changes unexpectedly, and this most definitely affects the ways in which they present themselves to the world.

Scorpio Mars in the 5th House - People with this placement are baddies. Cool af and might partake in some dangerous hobbies.

Chart ruler in the 4th House - Nostalgia frames the ways in which these people present themselves. Might have a timeless look about them.

Virgo Mercury in the 8th House - Could partake in hygienic practices that are diligent and maybe strange.

Cancer Saturn in the 5th House - Handyman vibes. Down to earth in their self expression.

Sun in the 3rd House - Seemingly youthful, the eternal student.

Strong 11th House placements - Their appearance is somehow associated with whatever group they belong to. This could be church, clubs, sports teams, humanitarian efforts. (For instance, Tom Cruise has his Jupiter in the 11th house and you can't look at him without thinking about Scientology.)

Strong 7th House placements - Tend to take on traits adapted from their relationships. They mirror people.

Uranus in the 9th House - Might end up living amongst a culture that differs from the one they grew up in. This will affect the ways in which people perceive their appearance.

Saturn Square Pluto - 😐 <- this face

Mercury Trine Pluto - 🤨 <- this face

Mars aspecting Uranus - Prone to accidents, bodily injury, scars.
